Sometimes the system does work

After constantly sitting through two to three lights trying to make a left-hand turn onto Old Hooper Avenue from Drum Point Road West, I circulated a petition to get a left-hand arrow put on the corner. Within two weeks I had more than 1,300 signatures. I forwarded them to the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders.

In about a month and a half we had a left-hand turn arrow at the intersection. Since the light has been added, traffic is flowing smoothly.

Since most editorials complain about something or other, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Brick Councilman Steve Acropolis, Ocean County Freeholders Joe Vicari and Jim Mancini, Ocean County Engineer Ron Letrechio and all the Brick residents who signed the petition for getting this project completed in a short period of time.
